NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

(In thousands, except share and per share data)

 

NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Total Logistics, Inc. (“TLI” or the “Company”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements, prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

In the opinion of management, the aforementioned statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. Results for the six months ended June 30, 2004, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004. Certain reclassifications of prior year balances have been made to conform to the current year’s presentation. Reclassifications had no impact on earnings from operations, net earnings or earnings per share.

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Inventories: Inventories are carried at the lower of FIFO (first-in, first-out) cost or market value. In the Logistics Services segment, inventories consist primarily of repair parts. In the Product Sales segment, inventories include materials, food products and labor and manufacturing overhead. As of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, inventories are comprised of the following:

 

     June 30,
2004


   December 31,
2003


Repair parts

   $ 192    $ 137

Commodities and other

     1,021      1,755

Raw materials and work in process

     5,393      6,260

Finished goods

     3,330      1,203
    

  

     $ 9,936    $ 9,355
    

  

 

Goodwill: Prior to 2002, goodwill was amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS No. 142 requires goodwill to be tested for impairment annually, or more frequently under certain circumstances, and written down when impaired, rather than being amortized as previous standards required. There were no changes to the carrying amount of goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Balances by segment are as follows:

 

     Logistic
Services


   Product
Sales


   Total

Balance as of December 31, 2003 and June 30, 2004

NOTE 4 — SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

TLI is divided into two discrete segments – Logistic Services and Product Sales. Logistic Services include providing warehousing, transportation operations and management services, supply chain management, dedicated third-party facility and operations management, fulfillment services, packaging and food processing. The Product Sales operating segment includes the manufacture and sale of glass-door refrigerated and frozen display cases, refrigeration control systems and distribution of certain food products. Products within this segment are sold primarily to grocery, general merchandise, convenience and drug store chains and industrial applications throughout the United States and to municipal school districts in the Midwest. These operating segments are determined based upon the primary services and product lines provided to customers.

NOTE 5 — DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

 

The Company has derivative financial instruments, however, it does not use them for trading purposes. As of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, interest rate swaps are the only derivative financial instruments held by the Company. The interest rate swaps, designated as cash flow hedging relationships, were entered into in 2001 and 2002 as an effort to mitigate the risk of rising interest rates in future periods by converting certain floating rate debt instruments into fixed rate debt. The effective portion of the gains and losses on these instruments are deferred in other comprehensive income and recognized in interest expense over the period in which the Company accrues interest expense on the related debt instruments. The ineffective portion of hedging derivatives has been insignificant. The fair value of interest rate swaps was a loss of $349 (net of tax of $233) and a loss of $640 (net of tax of $490) at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively, and was based on dealer quotes.

 

NOTE 6 – STOCK-BASED EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION PLANS

 

At June 30, 2004, the Company had one stock-based employee compensation plan, which is described more fully in Note E to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. The Company accounts for this stock-based plan under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost was reflected in previously reported results for any period, as all options granted under this plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying Common Stock on the measurement date. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure,” to stock-based employee compensation.

NOTE 7 – GUARANTEE ARRANGEMENT

 

Integrated Transportation Logistics, L.L.C. (“ITLX”), a company 45% owned by a subsidiary of the Company, Total Logistic Control (“TLC”), entered into a promissory note (the “Note”) with a lender which allowed ITLX to borrow up to $500 at the lender’s prime rate until the Note matured on June 30, 2004. Upon maturity, at the same amount and borrowing terms, the Note was extended to mature on August 16, 2004. Under a Limited Guaranty arrangement between the lender and TLC, TLC has unconditionally guaranteed 45% of the indebtedness for outstanding amounts at maturity (including extensions) under the Note. As of June 30, 2004, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Note.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

General

 

Our strategy to build equity value is primarily focused on the development of two business segments, Logistic Services and Product Sales. Our objective is to build long-term sustainable business value by expanding our businesses, growing earnings and strengthening our capital structure.

 

Growth from the first quarter of 2004 and comparable prior year quarterly and year to date periods in revenues and earnings from operations remained strong. The following table outlines growth from the prior year comparable quarter, sequential growth from quarter 1, 2004 and the prior year to date periods:

 

    

Quarterly

Growth


   

Sequential

Growth


    Year to Date
Growth


 

Revenues:

                  

Logistic Services

   33.9 %   24.3 %   23.1 %

Product Sales

   22.0 %   0.1 %   19.4 %

Total

   31.0 %   17.9 %   22.1 %

Earnings from Operations:

                  

Logistic Services

   45.5 %   66.4 %   17.3 %

Product Sales

   813.4 %   14.8 %   635.5 %

Total

   128.4 %   51.8 %   83.0 %

 

In the Logistic Services segment, we continued to execute our business plan of operating at high levels of asset utilization and adding new long-term logistic service contracts. A number of factors contribute to our ability to perform successfully. Success in Logistic Services depends largely on our ability to design and execute complex logistics programs, the number of facilities in which we operate, our level of capacity utilization, the number of projects we add, the efficiency of our transportation operations and our ability to leverage our existing knowledge of the logistics business. Dedicated facility projects have become our biggest growth driver from both a revenue and an earnings standpoint. Our success in these activities has significantly increased our profile in the industry and today, Total Logistic Control is considered to be a leading provider of integrated logistic services across the supply chain. In April, 2004 we began operations of our contract packaging operation with Kellogg Company. In July, 2004 we commenced operations of an additional dedicated dry distribution center with Campbell’s Soup Company and are scheduled to begin several additional projects in August: a dedicated dry and refrigerated distribution center with Kraft Foods and a dedicated deli and bakery distribution business with a major Midwest retailer. In addition, we will start up new refrigerated distribution centers in September and November, 2004 with a Fortune 100 food company and Simmons Foods, respectively. Dedicated facility projects are based upon cost plus arrangements.

 

In Product Sales, our improved performance is being driven by improved orders based on past and new customer relationships, new product introductions, timely deliveries and our ability to control costs while providing quality products and a high level of service at a competitive price. Over the past quarter, we have experienced a significant increase in our backlog, however, the product sales market remains highly competitive due to consolidation in the grocery and drug store businesses and excess capacity in product manufacturing continues to be a significant factor in our industry.

 

Since 1999, our financial condition has strengthened each year, driven by the long-term strong cash generating capability of our operating segments. At June 30, 2004, our ratio of debt to equity was 1.3x, a significant improvement over June 30, 2003’s ratio of 1.7x and considerably less than our high of 2.9x at March 31, 1999. In addition, our debt to total capitalization (defined as total debt divided by total debt plus shareholders’ equity) at June 30, 2004 was 55.7 percent, improved from 63.0 percent at June 30, 2003 and the high point of 74.5

 

14


percent at the end of March 1999. In the first half of 2004, we generated $0.6 million in operating cash flow, increased cash by $1.3 million, increased our debt by $3.4 million, and made $3.1 million of capital expenditures to support business growth initiatives as compared with the comparable prior year period when we generated $3.4 million in operating cash flow, decreased our debt by $2.2 million and made $2.1 million of capital expenditures. Although our ability to reduce debt was considerably less than the prior year’s comparable period, certain events specific to our second quarter including the purchase of assets and start up funding requirements for the contract packaging business and the timing of certain large dollar receivable payments were the primary factors in the increased working capital required to support our Company’s growth.

Consolidated revenues increased 31.0 percent to $86.9 million in the second quarter of 2004 compared with the second quarter of 2003. Consolidated revenue in the second quarter of 2004 included Logistic Services revenues of $67.4 million, reflecting year-to-year growth of 33.9 percent, and Product Sales revenues of $19.5 million, which increased 22.0 percent from the prior year.

 

The increase in revenues from Logistic Services of approximately $17.0 million in the second quarter of 2004 was attributable to new and full year effects of dedicated facility projects (approximately $11.9 million), volume growth in transportation operations (approximately $3.2 million), logistic management services (approximately $1.5 million) and refrigerated and dry warehousing (approximately $0.4 million).

 

Increased Product Sales revenues in the second quarter of 2004 of approximately $3.5 million were primarily attributable to increased sales of refrigerated casements and refrigeration control systems (approximately $3.7 million), partially offset by lower sales of food products due to the loss of certain Michigan school districts school lunch programs compared to the second quarter of 2003 (approximately $0.2 million).

Earnings from operations attributable to Logistic Services in the second quarter of 2004 were $2.7 million or 4.1 percent of revenues, an increase of $0.8 million from $1.9 million and 3.7% percent of revenues in the corresponding 2003 period. Increased earnings from operations were primarily from increased gross profit in facility management projects (approximately $1.0 million) and refrigerated and dry warehousing (approximately $0.3 million), partially offset by increased overhead (approximately $0.3 million) and reduced gross profit in transportation (approximately $0.1 million). Gross profit in transportation was negatively impacted by underutilization of equipment and driver and fuel cost increases. Gross profit increases in facility management projects resulted from two new projects commenced in February and April, 2004, respectively (a refrigerated distribution project with a Fortune 100 food company in York, Pennsylvania and the contract packaging business with Kellogg Company in Athens, Georgia) and two projects that existed partially in the prior year’s comparable period (refrigerated distribution projects with

 

15


Sara Lee in Phoenix, Arizona and with a Fortune 100 food company in Indianapolis, Indiana) and increased gross profits resulting from the receipt of a compensatory payment related to a restructured contract, partially offset by decreased service fees from that same contract. Warehousing gross profit increased due to increased facility utilization, primarily at our refrigerated warehouse facilities. Overhead expenses in the Logistic Services segment increased primarily due to increased employee compensation associated with increased levels of business activities partially offset by decreased levels of depreciation associated with fully depreciated assets.

 

Earnings from operations attributable to Product Sales in the second quarter of 2004 were $1.3 million and 6.7 percent of revenues, an increase of approximately $1.2 million from last year’s corresponding quarter of $0.1 million and 0.9 percent of revenues. Increased earnings from operations in the Product Sales segment were primarily from increased gross profit in refrigerated casement and refrigerated control system sales (approximately $1.5 million) partially offset by increased selling, general and administrative expenses (approximately $0.3 million). Increased earnings from operations from casement and refrigeration systems were primarily due to increased volume and efficiencies associated with product service. Selling general and administrative expenses increased as a result of increased volume in the Product Sales segment.

 

Interest Expense

 

Consolidated net interest expense in the second quarter of 2004 was approximately $0.7 million compared to approximately $0.8 million reported for the corresponding 2003 period. The decrease in interest expense in the 2004 quarter was primarily attributable to improvements in the borrowing rate or the spread over LIBOR (the “LIBOR Margin”) we paid on outstanding loans in the Logistic Services segment. The LIBOR Margin declined in February 2004 from 175 basis points to 150 basis points and is based on incentive pricing levels related to leverage which improved primarily from reductions in debt in 2003. On July 30, 2004 we amended the credit agreement with our lenders to keep the LIBOR Margin in the Logistic Services segment at 150 basis points until the September 2005 reporting period. See “Amendment to the Company’s Credit Agreement”

 

Income Taxes

 

The effective tax rate was 40 percent and 43 percent in second quarters of 2004 and 2003, respectively. Due to certain structural changes we anticipate a 40 percent tax rate for the remainder of 2004.

 

Net Earnings

 

For the reasons discussed above, in the second quarter of 2004 consolidated net earnings totaled approximately $1.9 million or $0.33 per diluted share, representing an increase of 261.6 percent compared to net earnings in the corresponding 2003 period of $0.5 million or $.09 per diluted share.

The increase in revenues from Logistic Services of approximately $22.8 million in the first half of 2004 was attributable to new and full year effects of dedicated facility projects (approximately $17.5 million), volume growth in transportation operations (approximately $4.4 million), refrigerated and dry warehousing (approximately $0.7 million) and logistic management services (approximately $0.2 million).

 

Increased Product Sales revenues in the first half of 2004 of approximately $6.3 million were primarily attributable to increased sales of refrigerated casements and refrigeration system sales (approximately $7.0 million), partially offset by lower sales of food products due to the loss of certain Michigan school districts school lunch programs compared to the first half of 2003 (approximately $0.7 million).

Warehousing gross profit increased due to increased refrigerated facility usage, partially offset by decreased dry warehouse facility gross profit. Overhead expenses in the Logistic Services segment increased primarily due to additional employee compensation expense predicated by increased levels of business activity, partially offset by decreased depreciation associated with fully depreciated assets.

Earnings from operations attributable to Product Sales in the first half of 2004 were $2.4 million and 6.2 percent of revenues, an increase of approximately $2.1 million from last year’s corresponding quarter of $0.3 million and 1.0 percent of revenues. Increased earnings from operations in the Product Sales segment were primarily from increased gross profit in refrigerated casement and refrigeration control system sales (approximately $2.7 million), partially offset by increased selling, general and administrative expenses (approximately $0.6 million).

Interest Expense

 

Consolidated net interest expense in the first half of 2004 was approximately $1.3 million compared to approximately $1.5 million reported for the corresponding 2003 period. The decrease in interest expense in the first half of 2004 quarter was primarily attributable to improvements in the borrowing rate or the spread over LIBOR (the “LIBOR Margin”) we paid on outstanding loans in the Logistic Services segment. The LIBOR Margin declined in February 2004 from 175 basis points to 150 basis points and is based on incentive pricing levels related to leverage which improved primarily from reductions in debt in 2003.

The effective tax rate was 40 percent and 43.7 percent in first half of 2004 and 2003, respectively. Due to certain structural changes we anticipate a 40 percent tax rate for the remainder of 2004.

 

Net Earnings

 

For the reasons discussed above, in the first half of 2004 consolidated net earnings totaled approximately $3.0 million or $0.53 per diluted share, representing an increase of 272.9 percent compared to net earnings in the corresponding 2003 period of $1.1 million or $.20 per diluted share.

 

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2004 totaled approximately $3.5 million compared to approximately $2.2 million at December 31, 2003. The Company’s working capital at June 30, 2004 was approximately $8.1 million compared to approximately $2.9 million at December 31, 2003. Working capital increased during the first half of 2004 primarily due to increased accounts receivables (approximately $9.9 million), increased cash (approximately $1.3 million), increased inventories (approximately $0.6 million) and increased prepaid and other assets (approximately $0.1 million), partially offset by increased accrued liabilities (approximately $3.5 million), accounts payable (approximately $1.6 million), and an increase in short term debt (approximately $1.6 million). Accounts receivable increased primarily from the addition of new accounts including the new contract packaging operations (approximately $2.9 million), the timing of receivables associated with a large customer in the Logistics Segment (which has been subsequently collected) (approximately $2.0 million) and increased levels of revenues in both segments (approximately $5.0 million). Accrued liabilities increased primarily from the timing and size of accrued payroll (approximately $1.7 million), increased levels of business activity (approximately $1.0 million) and accruals related to the new contract packaging operations (approximately $0.8 million).

 

Operating activities in the first half of 2004 provided cash of approximately $0.6 million compared to approximately $3.4 million provided in 2003. In 2004, cash provided by operating activities was derived primarily from net earnings of approximately $3.0 million and depreciation and amortization expense of

 

18


approximately $3.3 million, partially offset by an increase in working capital accounts discussed above (excluding cash and short term debt) of approximately $5.7 million.

 

Net cash used in investing activities in the first half of 2004 totaled approximately $3.1 million, compared to approximately $1.6 million in the corresponding 2003 period. Investing activities in the first half of 2004 consisted of capital expenditures to support business growth initiatives. Capital expenditures in the first half of 2004 were approximately $1.0 million higher than the prior years corresponding period. This increased level of capital expenditures was primarily in the Logistic Services segment for equipment purchased in connection with our entrance into the contract packaging business and new project information technology systems.

 

Cash flows provided by financing activities totaled approximately $3.8 million in the first half of 2004 compared to $2.2 million used in financing activities in the corresponding 2003 period. Borrowings in the first half of 2004 were higher than the corresponding 2003 period due to higher levels of capital expenditures and increased working capital requirements (as explained above). The major components of cash flows provided by financing activities in the first half of 2004 were borrowings under the Company’s credit facilities (net of mandatory repayments) of approximately $3.4 million, and cash proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options of approximately $0.5 million.

 

Our current sources of capital include: cash generated from operations, existing cash resources, which at June 30, 2004 totaled $3.5 million and unused availability under our existing credit facilities totaling approximately $31.7 million. Other than additional net borrowings of approximately $3.4 million and the amendment to the Company’s credit agreement described below, there have been no material changes to our credit facilities described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. We believe these resources are sufficient to fund projected cash requirements related to current operations and we expect capital expenditures in 2004 to approximate $6.0 million.

 

We continue to evaluate new projects and acquisitions in line with our strategic development plan. Future acquisitions may be funded through cash balances; cash flows from operations; existing credit facilities; potential new credit facilities; and/or the issuance of equity securities through an underwritten offering, rights offering to shareholders or otherwise. We consider our existing credit facilities and internally generated cash flow to be adequate to fund our operations in the foreseeable future.

 

In August, 2004 we began a dedicated deli and bakery product distribution project for a major Midwest retailer. In past dedicated facility projects, funding has been provided by our clients prior to its required expenditure by us. This project differs from our other distribution agreements because it will require us to provide additional working capital for which we will be compensated. Under the contract we will procure frozen, refrigerated and dry deli and bakery products based upon daily orders directly from retailers. We will then warehouse these products and build store ready custom pallets for delivery to the retail locations. Due to the high volume of product, the timing of payments due from us to suppliers and our ultimate receipt of amounts due to us from our customer, we expect an increase of approximately $8.0 million in our working capital. We will account for this project on a net basis. See Amendment to the Company’s Credit Agreement below.

 

Amendment to the Company’s Credit Agreement

 

In connection with the previously described deli and bakery product distribution project, on July 30, 2004 we entered into the First Amendment To Amended and Restated Credit Agreement by and among Total Logistic Control, LLC (“TLC”) and its lenders (the “TLC Amendment”) which fixes our interest rate spread over LIBOR and Prime at 1.5% and 0.0% (which is equal to the interest rate spread paid by TLC in the second quarter of 2004), respectively through our September 30, 2005 reporting period. Prior to the TLC Amendment the interest rate under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “TLC Credit

 

19


Agreement”) was at TLC’s option, based on the prime rate or LIBOR plus, an amount that varied according to a pricing grid determined by the ratio of TLC’s funded debt to EBITDA (as defined in the TLC Credit Agreement). Had we not entered into the TLC Amendment, the increase in borrowings under the TLC Credit Agreement to fund working capital from the project would have likely resulted in an increase in our interest rate spread.

Forward Looking Information

 

Certain matters discussed in this Report are “forward-looking statements” intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements can generally be identified as such because the context of the statement includes phrases such as we ‘believe,” “expect” or other words of similar import. Similarly, statements that describe our future plans, objectives or goals are also forward-looking statements, including, among other, discussions of growth in the market and demand for services in third-party logistics, the outlook for growth in the market for new construction or refurbishment of grocery, drug and convenience stores, and thus demand for Product Sales. Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those currently anticipated. Although we believe our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our goals will be achieved. Important factors that could affect actual results or outcomes have not materially changed since our disclosure in our 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Shareholders, potential investors and other readers are urged to consider the cautionary factors contained in the Company’s 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K in evaluating the forward-looking statements and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.
